For Everyone
Share files that are too big for email — without the hassle of FTP
Upload files up to 10 GB and get a shareable hosted link. No email attachment size limits, no FTP setup, no compression that degrades quality. Recipients download or view in their browser with CDN-backed speed.
Why people use Hostupa to share large files
Email attachments cap at 25 MB. FTP requires server setup and technical knowledge. Cloud storage links require account logins and have bandwidth limits. Hostupa takes the simplest approach: upload the large file, get a hosted URL, share it. Recipients click and download or view in their browser. Files are served from a CDN for fast transfers regardless of file size or recipient location.
How it works
Upload your large file
Drag and drop files up to 10 GB (plan-dependent). Hostupa serves them on a hosted URL with CDN-backed delivery for fast downloads.
Share the link
Send the URL via email, chat, or any channel. Recipients click and download or view in their browser — no account or login required.
Track and control
See download counts. Add a password for sensitive files. Delete the project to take the file offline when it is no longer needed.

Frequently asked questions
What is the maximum file size I can share on Hostupa?
Free plans support file uploads up to 50 MB. Pro plans increase this to 500 MB, and higher tiers support files up to 10 GB. For files larger than 10 GB, contact support for custom arrangements. Most large file sharing needs — videos, photo archives, software builds — are covered within the available tiers.
How fast can recipients download large files?
Files are served from a global CDN, meaning they are cached at edge locations close to the recipient. Download speeds depend on the recipient's internet connection, but CDN delivery typically achieves significantly faster speeds than direct server transfers. A 1 GB file can download in under a minute on a fast connection.
Do recipients need an account to download large files?
No. Recipients simply click the link and the file downloads or opens in their browser. No account creation, no login, no software installation. This removes friction and ensures that the file is accessible to everyone you share it with, regardless of their technical setup.
Can I password-protect a large file share?
Yes. Set a password on any project and only people with the password can download the file. This is useful for confidential large files like unreleased video content, proprietary software builds, or sensitive data archives.
How long do large files stay hosted on Hostupa?
Files remain hosted as long as your account is active and within plan limits. Unlike temporary file transfer services that expire links after 7 days, Hostupa keeps your files online until you delete them. This means you can share a link once and it remains valid indefinitely.
